[Valgrind-users] Callgrind

[Olaf L. <ol...@ic...>]

Hi everybody!

I am trying to use callgrind (3.8.0) to profile our simulation software
ESPResSo (http://espressomd.org) on Linux.

Unfortunately, callgrind seems to loose the information on where to find
the source files when running the binary.  When I use 'nm -lC Espresso' on
the binary file, I see that the binary does contain the source code
information, e.g.:

000000000049e605 W add_lj_pair_force(Particle*, Particle*, IA_parameters*,
double*, double, double*)
 /home/olenz/projects/espresso/src/src/core/lj.hpp:45

However, when I run the binary under callgrind, the output file does not
contain any of the symbols from the binary file, but only the addresses.

Interestingly, when I test callgrind on a simple test program, everything
works fine...

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download source code.
2. Compile with
> configure CXXFLAGS="-O0 -g"
> make
3. Check the binary file that it contains symbols:
> nm -lC Espresso | grep add_lj_pair_force
4. Run test with
> cd testsuite
> valgrind --tool=callgrind ../Espresso lj.tcl
5. Examine "callgrind.out.XXX": no symbols are contained.

Does anybody have an idea what goes wrong?

Olaf
